what are left in the 81 and
40c. qualities are now down
to 10 cents and the narrower
ones are down to 10 cents.
With the incoming oI
weather which makes Blank
cts SO acceptable, we have
decided on a very unusual
thing-a marked and posi-
tive reduction among the
finest of fine Blankets, and
one which will give blanket
buyers, whether for their own
use or for holiday gifts, a
rare opportunity on the HneSl
all zvocl BA0rkets.
Did you ever reflect that
it was more economy to buy
a fine, pure wool blanket
than to buy one with twice
as much weight, but three
quarters cotton2 Half a pair
of fine wool is worth twice
the quantity in part cotton.
Put your hand On a fine
wool blanket, clutch it and
find how soft, fleecy and
warm it feels; do the same
with a cotton one and note
the oifierence-compare a
shingle to the finest mahog
any and you have it. Gen
erous, too, in sizes these
blankets we are going to
offer you.
No. / lot is 2 Yards wiis
by q yards long, with scar,
LET, nvay blue and pink bor
oers, of the unique and
pretty cherry pattern, which
IS somewhat Of a departure
from the regulation blanket
borders. This lot is reduced
from SI2 to 50 50.
No. 2 lot is # yards wide
and p yards long; red and
blue borders, silk bound,
known as the celebrated
California Blanket of the
Ell Dorado ard Mission
Mills. They were Sl4 and
now reduced to S11.
no. 3 lot is 2 10 yards

combed wool, with a beau
tiiul designed fancy scroll
work border in pink and
blue-the daintiest blanket
we ever had; nearly as fine
as satin to the touch. The5

The Philosophy of Bedsteads.

Primitive and Oriental people lie on
the ground or on carpet, bed or mat
tress which is laid OF the ground.
Modern Western civilization is not
satisfied with this; it demands bed
steads, with legs that shall raise the
sleeper we'll above the floor level. Is
any sound scientific justification of
this latter practice discoverable? /
think there is, and that my explana-
tions will prove that the question is
not so frivolous as it may at first sight
appear. A very interesting paper was
read before the Society OF Arts on
March 23d, by DIR. Percy F. Frankland
in which, among other matters he
described experiments made by him
self and others, proving that microbia,
pathogenic and otherwise do not re-
main suspended in still air; they
might be supposed from
what is known concerning infection
by poison germs floating in the air.
Hesse's experiments show this clear
ly. Koch's method of testing for the
existence of microbia in the air was to
expose dishes or strips of glass con-
tanning gelatinous solid films. On
these the microbia fall and find
abundant nutriment, and multiply
accordingly, forming colonies that
may be counted and may be examined
with the microscope. But this only
indicates the numbers falling on a
piyen arch, not the numbers contained
in given measure of air. To deter
mine these Hesse used tubes about
3 feet long and II inches in diameter
internally coated with the sterile
nutritious neutrality-suspicious.. A meas
ured quantity OF air was drawn slowly
through the tubes, when it was dis
covered that the colonies were all al
the bottom of the tube, and not
evenly distributed even over the bot.
tom. but were more or less crowded
together at the end, where the all
entered. and more and more sparsely
distributed further inward, until the
latter half of the tube was almost. en-,
fireIy free. The microbia had al
fallen down in the course OF the shor'
Journey of the air. The mold colonies
spread all along the tube, showinf
that fungus germs float in the ar
while bacteria fall. Other expert
ments show that in an ordinary apart
ment the questionable organisms are
more and more abundant, descending
from ceiling to floor. Therefore,

The Ivory Room.

One of the most interesting sights
in the warehouses is the ivory room.
Here are lying by the hundreds tusks
of elephants, tuske of wild beasts,
horns of the rhinoceros and teeth ol
the hippopotamus. There are ele,
phant tusks ten feet in lenght and
weighing $50 pounds. There are hip
popotamus teeth nearly two feet
long. The elephant tusk, of course,
furnishes by far the finest quality OF
ivorv; and there is also a great
difference in the elephant OF India
and Ceylon ranking the African s.pe-
cimen. 1t is only a question OF time
when the ivory trade will have TO
look around for new source OF ma
terial. The officer in charge OF this
room, man about sixty years OF age,
said he had been there from boy.
He said there was perceptable fall,
ing off in the supply every year, ana
what looked to the inexperienced eye
like such an astounding collection was
quite small as compared with what
might have been seen twenty or even
ten years ago. Fully if not more than
one-half the tusk OF the elephant Is
embedded in the flesh, and
this proportion is greater in the
root OF the hippopotamus tooth. The
tusks and the teeth are apparently OF
the same color all the length, and in
their natural state seem, very dark.
Some of the elephant tusks were quite
black. They attain the beautiful,
clear line of manufactured ivory by
bleaching. The upper end of the ele-
phant tusk, which is solid, is much the
more valuable portion. 1t is not SC
solid, however, but that fine nerve
extends to the very tip. The little
aperture through which the nerve ex-
tends was pointed out to US, and the
attendant said that through this nerve
the elephant had the most delicate
sense of touch all along his tusk.-

is especially the case if the air of the
room is still, as is usually the case in
the bedrooms of these latitudes. In
rooms of the old Oriental pattern with
out window glass, the case is some--
what different. 1t may be supposed
that, carbonic acid being heavier than
air, there is much more near the floor
than little higher. Owing to the
diffusibility of tie gas, this, however,
is not the case in any measurable de-
gree. The carbonic acid we expire
gets an upward start on leaving our
lungs the mixture we expire is, except
in hot weather, specifically lighter
than that which we inspire, on account
of its higher temperature.-l Matieu

anything atloat. Steers was in a great
state, for he could not afford to own her
and was owing for the material of which
she was built. He was So close pressed
that he took an offer Of SEQ, 600. and only
found after the sale WAS completed that
Stevens WAS the real purchaser the other

Steers had his opinion of such sharp
practices, but nevertheless took 50 keen
an interest in his work tina, he consented
to GO over in her to England. Stevens
was very higl, with him and never asked
him into the cabin. He lived in the fore

Luck of an Inventor.

A young English mechanic in Troy
not long ago invented a new axle box
and nut which had great deal of merit
in it, and which attracted the attention
of famous New York carriage maker.
One day one of the latter's agents went
TO the shop in Troy where the young
Englishman was employed and asked
him about his invention and patent and
finally made him an offer of $50, 600 in
cash for the latter. The young man
thought he would accept, but asked a
few hours to consider. He talked with
his employers, and as they had aided
him in securing his patents they sug-
gested that he give them the privilege
of making the purchase. They offered
him S25, 900 and half interest in the
profits. He accepted the offer and the
next day informed the carriage s
representative of the fact. The latter
gentleman promptly said: "Now that
you have made up your mind want to
say to you that we have made as high
as $500 a year out of what we call
our spring, and that is not worth to us
nearly what your axel would bring us.
You have valuable invention" The
proof of this statement developed itself
almost Immediately, and it is said that
the Troy concern. which has UNDER
taken the manufacture Of the new in
vention, will realize profit of from
800. 900 to $500, 900 year from it.
The young English mechanic will soon
be very rich man.-Atbany Journal
